Unai Emery is considering Barcelona midfielder Gavi as a potential transfer target for Aston Villa.
According to Spanish outlet El Nacional, the English club is monitoring the situation surrounding the 22-year-old player, who is currently getting limited playing time under Hans Flick.
This season, Gavi has spent just 191 minutes on the pitch in seven matches, starting only twice. Such a situation may cause the midfielder to contemplate his future if his role in the team does not change.
Emery is interested in the opportunity to offer the Spaniard a more significant role at Aston Villa. The head coach of the English club sees Gavi as a potential boost to the midfield and could provide him with more playing time than he is currently receiving at Barcelona.
However, any potential transfer will largely depend on the ongoing developments at the Catalan club. If Gavi manages to regain his regular place in the starting lineup and receive more playing time under Flick, the need to consider leaving may diminish.
